MONTREAL - CF Montréal announced on Thursday the acquisition of $200,000 in General Allocation Money from the Columbus Crew SC, in return for forward Erik Hurtado.

"There was some interest in Erik during the past few weeks and we listened to the offers, even though we were satisfied with Erik's work. Because he's not vaccinated against Covid-19, his situation was problematic and we started considering a trade when we got the confirmation that the team could return to Montreal," said CF Montréal sporting director Olivier Renard. "Before proceeding, Erik also confirmed that he was not comfortable taking the vaccine, so we concluded this deal, which we felt was very satisfactory. We would like to thank Erik for his professionalism and wish him good luck in his career."

The Club acquired Erik Hurtado on February 16, 2021, as he was without contract. He played seven games with Montreal, including two starts, and got one assist.
